galatea

The European side contains the Galatea tower, the Beyogolou district, the things one reads about when learning about Istanbul.

And Galatea read his letters with increasing ardor and slept with them under her pillow.

As he did so he looked up toward high Olympus and prayed Venus to grant him a wife like his peerless Galatea.

Galatea did not return the Cyclops's affection, however, for she loved the river god Acis.

But Gilbert never soared so high either in his philosophy or in his art as in Pygmalion and Galatea.

It is here that Raphael painted the Triumph of Galatea, and here this wonderful fresco is still bright upon the wall.
